Welcome back to Chapter Four everybody! Hope your having a happy Halloween! I got the time to be able to release chapter four. This chapter might not seem much but it's the best I can put out as I am celebrating Halloween myself.

For the english text, words would be bolded or in other terms, bold form means English.

Chapter Four: Friendly Introduction

It was them! How though? The splatoon were asking the question as they looked at the machine containing the humans, Madison's voice continued to talk from the computer.

"This was the wish my father wanted us to take, for both of us to await the day that we return hopefully to a better world where everything is peaceful."

The video message had ended then and there, the computer showing a message that displayed the recording date. The recording date was on May 31st, 2050, thirty years after the year 2019. It would mean that Madison was at the age of fourty-one or fourty-two by now. As for Mark, he would be sixty-something years, an old timer in regards.

Three decided to approach slowly, unable to predict if the humans would suddenly awaken from their overdue slumber. She examined the humans and nodded to confirm the identity. Four and Three remembered reading about Madison, being the daughter of Mark and Emma. They kinda have to credit Madison for baiting King Ghidorah like that. Both of them felt the shoes, having gone solo into octarian territory to rescue save their city and live to tell.

Both the humans were in the process of being revived; The computer estimating that it could take hours to complete. Moreover, the most important thing was that the computer had displayed what their language was. The language they spoke was English which was an entirely, almost forgotten language. Translating was going to be the last thing the splatoon wanted to do but the same could have been said for Eight; she was able to learn the inkling language in quick time, mainly thanks for Marina, Pearl, Four and Cuttlefish.

As for what the agents had though about the humans, well that was a mixed one. Madison was whom they could get to trust them easily. But Mark? He was a different story though. Some careful steps had to be taken since the computer did say something about Mark hating the titans and wanted to destroy them. So there was no telling what Mark would do if he saw the splatoon. They'll be shocked to find out about a new species right at their doorstep.

A few hours went by slowly for the splatoon as they waited. For the most part though, the agents used that time to explore the structure. Four and Eight went going deeper into the base of the structure they were in. Based on the map the computer was able to provide, the very top of the structure had a hanger bay. The computer had indicated that there were helicopters lying around, still operationally in good condition. Sadly, none of the agents knew how to fly helicopters, let alone build one.

Once it became time, the agents prepared to greet the two humans. The machine had just finished the warm up process and was now using some kind of flash, repeatedly going on after a three second delay.

The first thing to indicate the arrival was a simultaneous gasp of air from both the humans. Both Madison and Mark rose into the air, their heads hurting like crazy. They awkwardly stumbled off the machine completely dazed of their surroundings. Both of them turned towards each other and hugging.

"Hey Dad! We made it!"

"We sure did!"

Both the humans stood up, walking to the computer for some reason; Probably to check what the date was. The agents stood clear, not wanting to reveal themselves until the right moment. The two humans checked on the computer, activating the AI.

"Identify?"

"Maddie..."

"Ah! Welcome back Professor, it's been a while... I apologize for my inconvenience."

"Monarch, confirm the date today."

"The date today is May 23, 14244, almost 12194 years after you been [Slang Not Found]."

"Uh oh, You suffered some glitches since we last talked."

"Of course!"

Madison checked on the hard drive, rebooting it to clear out the errors.

Mark gave a look of disappointment as the date was confirmed on the screen. To be frozen for twelve thousand years had indicated that something went wrong.

"Any information on what happened when we were gone?"

"Important events are stored in the database but I'll give a brief summary. After you were frozen, the facility continued to operate while being powered down. Lets start simple, by beginning with the long awaited third world war had finally erupted in the year 2090. Thankfully this war didn't mean the end of humanity as everyone thought. As for the titans, there wasn't any indication of them rising up. Another world war began in the year 2230 and had ended once a thermonuclear missile was detonated above the south pole. This melted all the ice and created mass floods. After this, Godzilla and the titans reappeared in 2235 to rise against the weakened human race. Thus, humanity was driven off Earth by the year 2243."

"Darn!" Mark cursed as he was right all along. Humanity went back to it's old ways, not learning the lessons and had paid for it. Although they weren't wiped out completely, the reality was that both Mark and Madison could be the last two humans unless...

"Monarch, did anyone come to revive us?"

"Why! Yes, it seems like some cephalopods have come in search of answers."

"Cephalopods?"

Simultaneously, the agents appeared from their hiding spots, given the questionable tone. They decided to tuck away their weapons, hiding them from the humans for obvious reasons.

Agent Three was the one to go first, changing from her squid form and showing herself to the humans. Her smug face, mint eyes and lime green hair was able to be made out by the humans. She seemed to be wearing a jacket, vest, cape, and some kind of headphones.

Next to appear was Four. She changed from her squid form and looked greatly proud to meet them. Her orange-yellow bob cut hair was able to make for both the humans to see. Her gold eyes stared back at them like a child. She was wearing a yellow hoodie, what seemed to be snow boots and similar style headphones.

Last but not least was Agent Eight. The two humans could see that this one was from a different species. She had two tentacles reaching out in front, curling past her shoulders. Her tentacles looked to be a mixture of red or dark pink, though they couldn't tell exactly due to the lighting of the room. She too had gold eyes and was looking directly at them. She was wearing a black one leather long sleeve shirt, a matching black skirt with a strap on her left leg, and a pair of high heel zip-up boots.

Not known to the humans was that Eight had majorly retained the clothing she wore during her time in the Deepsea Metro. As much as she wanted to keep wearing the leather crop top, it revealed a little bit too much skin, especially at her belly. Three and Four had made that request to her as they had a point. It wouldn't be proper if she went exposed during a mission in the cold snowy weather during Squidmas time.

Looking else where, the two humans could see another three of the creatures. The two on the sides were wearing the same jacket and vest as the first one, but had different set of eyes. The one on the right had two purple-ish tentacles dangling behind a pink hat she was wearing. On the hat was a star on the side, perhaps a symbol of a pop star. In front of the hat was a pair of dark shades. On the left was a similar, having tentacles tied into a bow, wearing a green hat. In the middle of the two was what looked to be the leader of this small group due to the blue cap and old looking age.

Mark and Madison looked like they were tense, not knowing if the cephalopods were friendly or hostile. They could be related to the titans, perhaps little spawns.

Seeing the slowly increasing hostility, Three looked around to Cap'n and nodded her head to give the signal. Not a moment later, Cuttlefish was the first one to speak verbally to the humans. Cap'n knew that whatever he said would hopefully be translated by the computer.

"Can you two understand me?"

To the two humans, they knew that he was trying to communicate but couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Monarch, do you mind giving us one of those translators so we can reply to what he is saying."

The computer deployed two bracelet devices for the two humans to use. "The translators should automatically convert your voices to their language while converting their language to English." Both the humans connected the bracelets, turning them on.

Madison began to think of what to say to the leader. Since the computer had designated them as cephalopods, something sea related should do the trick. She began with, "Seashell and seaweed!"

The leader responded to her with, "Clam and kelp!" Madison blew a sigh of relief as the bracelet translators had worked.

While Madison seemed to be openingly friendly; it was Mark, who was still showing hostility to the cephalopods. It was what the agents had suspected since the humans had just came from a world where the threat of gigantic monsters destroying their civilizations is a possibility... well was a possibility.

Despite this, Cuttlefish decided to go on, opening starting with.

"Where were we? Oh! What are my matters! I am Captain Cuttlefish of the legendary Squidbeak Splatoon."

Word of advise! Happy Halloween!
